1.2 GROUP DISPLAY
The groups window is identical, in both form and features, to the xtures window, except for the fact that
the selection is made for groups; by pressing a group button, all the xtures therein can be alternately
selected and de-selected.
The organization of the xtures into groups is particularly useful when a show includes many xtures
and these are often managed together in recurring groups.
As for the xtures, each group button has two leds: the rst informs us on the status of the channels
(when switched o, all parameters of all the group xtures are Empty; when red, all parameters of all the
group xtures are controlled by the editor; for all other cases, the LED is orange).
The context-specic menu is identical to the context-specic menu of the xtures window, with the
exception of the Select Range button which does not appear here.
Create/edit a group
To create a new group you must select the xtures that will be part of the group, press the Group button
on the Store Menu (recall by pressing the Store key), and then type the name of the new group to be
created using the virtual keyboard.
IMPORTANT: If a group already exists with the same name, the old group is overwritten.
To edit a group you proceed as just described, paying attention when inserting the name of the group
you want to edit
1.3 PALETTES DISPLAY
Palettes are predened memories which speed up programming; each xture usually already has some
predened palettes in the fdf le, but the user can create new personalised ones. The preparation of
pan-tilt palettes is very useful in that, once preparation of the palettes is complete, the pointing of the
xtures is done simply by selecting the xtures concerned and then clicking on the palette of the desired
location.
IMPORTANT: When programming the cues with the palette, make sure the reference to the palette is saved
rather than the values contained in it; in this way, when you edit a palette, the changes made will be reected
on all its cues. This photo is particularly useful to make positioning amendments on previously programmed
shows.
The palettes are organised in the 6 parameter families: Intensity, Pan/Tilt, Colors, Gobos, Prism and Blade
